-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Taking action and making an effort
is the very spirit of Buddhism.
For a person 
who is continually advancing
there is always growth 
and an overflowing sense of joy.
By taking 
an indomitable step forwards,
let's advance 
the expansion and development
of the happiness of both ourselves 
and others!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood."

(The Opening of the Eyes 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 283)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The path of kosen-rufu is a long, ongoing series of struggles from which we can never retreat. To have this awareness and embody the principle that 'difficulties are peace and comfort' (cf. OTT, 115) is what it means to apply the Daishonin's teachings to our lives and is the heart of the Soka Gakkai spirit."

The New Human Revolution— Vol. 30, Vow 47, translation released May, 2018
